Hello Friends,
I've been searching on the internet for a while but could not find a proper answer anywhere about my situation.
I am currently studying in a college certificate program, where I started Fall'20 semester with only my AIP. I am now waiting for the 2nd stage approval.
It looks like my winter semester will also be fully online and I will not be coming to Canada in winter semester as well. I plan to come there by the end of April'21.
What I am wondering is that , Am I going to be eligible to enter Canada with visitor visa&study permit, since my son is a Canadian citizen in case my college DLI is not on covid approved list? My wife will also be coming with us. We currently both have visitor visas.
Immigration site has below specifications regarding the topic. It looks like I am eligible to be an extended family member and have the right to enter Canada in these circumstances, but I am also not really sure. I'd be very happy if some of you can help me figuring it out.
Thanks
